At last that light of minstrelsy, Neil
O'Brien, whose shining has saved mauy
another man's show from darkness, hat
what his years of mirth-making should
have ordained for him long ago?his
own minstrel troupe
"Featured'' for many a day. O'Brien
has in reality been the star of innumer?
able seasons, so that his appearance
at the Academy of Music last night at
the head of bis own organization vrag
welcomed by u great big happy audi?
ence, hungry for a sight of the tall,
round-shouldered, big-lipped figure that
had so often sent its constituent mem?
bers into spasms of uncontrollable
mirth.
And O'Brien "delivered the goods '
? to the delight of the many who
wished aim well. Time and again, his
own line of new "stuft"' was interrupted
by the wa\es of i.-aring laughter that
swept bark over the footlights into
his face, compelling hint to close his
mouth and accentuate again the like?
ness of his lower l*p to the cantle of a
saddle, while the whole performance
kept the house in an HfHtlifcfl state of
laughter.
The first part was of conventional
character. though the picture was
greeted by a .veil of delight from the
gallery, introducing .lohn Burke and
Pete Detzel. who amused the audience
-Detzel achieved reai merit later by
the staging of an exceptionally good
dancing act. Then Kddie Mazier
gave a practical exhibition of bow to
be graceful though fat. and sang until j
the threads came out of the rag
Harry Van Fossen talked in gargled
Knglish and sang the infect iocs
' Hitchy-Koo" until the lights danccc
Throughout this part, there were the
regulation songs 'filled with liniment."
as Neil O'Brien described them?typical
Old Mill Stream songs?in the perform?
ance of which nobody displayed any
particular voice, except AI Fontaine,
whose very low notes were resonant :
and full, and VV. H. Thompson, a real
baritone, who sang in MWh good style
that the 'liniment' showed through,
the songs in spite of them. The chorus
ragged" well, but in the mush songs
the first tenors 5c reamed unpleasingly
Then what we had been wai'ing for
came on?that Neil O'Brien. He sang ;
about "Lux ti-ry" and The Alabama!
Dip" in bis old manner; buffo'd what,
he calls his opera song ".and then, tak- j
ing bis peat he began to tell the Inter- :
locutor about his "w-i-l-d-c-a-t-wlfe"
until the house became hysterical. He [
expressed the opinion that "on 'lection
day aii de women should be at de polls?

FINAL
STILL II DOUBT
ted. but under the t iroumstancea.
unavoidable. They say ihe Unionists
bore no III will toward N'azim, whose
open and soldierly character made
him respected even by his political
opponents. The fact that a notorioua
enemy of the Committee of L nion and
Progress like Itechad Pasha, the late
Minister of the Interior, was allowed
to go scatheless, it is argued, proves
that the demonstrators deeired to
avoid bloodshed.
All the old ministers were set at
liberty to day and permitted to returu
to t heir homes.
Fafiz. the aide-de-camp, of tho former
Orand Yuier, who tired the hist shot
ii y sot ord ay's affray, was a companion
of Major Tahar. who started tho
mutiny at Monastir last summer, which
led to the resignation of the Cabinet of
Said Pasha.
Views held in official circles with re- <
gurd lo the situation between Turkey1
and the Balkan allies may be set forth;
as follows .
The Turkish government does not
desire a resumption of hostilities, but
the European poweis arc even less
anxious i" witness a renewal of the war
owing to the danger ol possible cornpli
tations in Turkey. Turkey realizes
her condition of financial penury, but
this condition ie chronic to her. and
means always can be found for keep?
ing afloat.
On the other hand, from a military
standpoint. Tuikey is in a better ton.
dition than ever to wage war wlln ati.
vantage, especially as the tfoVeriimer)t
I believes the forces of the **l|ieg are
? near the point of exhaustion. Nev?
ertheless, the Porte would prefer to
avoid further bloodshed if this is hon
j orably possible, and the Possession of'
Adrianople by the allies is not insisted
: upon.
Official circles are confident that no
coercive pressure by the powers need
be apprehended, or threats of isolated
action by Hussia taken very seriously,
owing to the possibility of such action
bunging about European complica
tions. I nder these circumstances, it
is felt here that the allies may come to ;
realize that Adrianople is not indispen
sible to their well being, and especially
when they observe that it is the deter?
mination of the entire nation to fight
rather than to surrender the holy city.

Fmba-sy Is Notified.
Washington January 24 Regarding
the public demonstration m Constanti?
nople last night during which Nazim
Pasha, the former War Minister and
commander of the Turkish army, was
killed, the Turkish embassy to-day re?
ceived the following cablegram from the
Minister oT f oreign Affairs of Turkey .
For some time past there has been
manifested a feeling of discontent
among the people against the Cabinet
of Kiami! Pasha, who. foreseeing a
popular movement, thought U better
to take strong measures for repressing
it. The debates in the Orand Council
and some rumors which were spread
afterwarda caused this discontent io
turn into a feeling of exasperation.
In consequence a large crowd went yes?
terday to the Sublime Porte in order
to manifest the feeling of the nation.
At the moment of entering the Sub?
lime Porte an aide-de-camp of the ex.
Orand Vizier, prompted by an excess of :
zeal.or maybe by fear, drew his revolver
and' killed one of the crowd, which,
being up to that moment very peace?
ful, had to reply to this unxpected
attack.'
"While this exchange of shots was j
taking r,:a.-c Nazim Pasha, hurriedly ,
coming out from the council to see'
what was ?aktng place, was struck by a :
shot, which, unfortunately, mortally,
?vo mded MSfl as well as a civilian who
remains unknown. On account of these
facts Ihe Cabinet resigned, and Mis ,
Imperial Majesty, the Sultan, has
t harged Mahmoud Shefket Pasha to
form a new Cabinet."

Season Opens With Chance*
Men in Polo Grounds
on April 1 7.
Washington. January 24?Clark Grif?
fith s Washingtons will open the Amer?
ican League season with Frank Chance's
ce's New Yorks at the i'olu Ground*
on April 17. This information came yes?
terday from Washington, where Griff
is enthusiastic over the arrangement.
(Srlff also is well pleased with the fact
that the New Yorks will begin the
champion ship race in his city on April
10. and that the Senators have received
the Fourth of July plum at the Brush
Stadium. The Washington manager
already lias announced that Walter
Johnson will pitch against Chance's
.ii on April 10 and 17. which means
'that the New Yorks will have to fight
for all they are worth to carry off the
' honors.
After playing the first series of the
year la Washington. Chance's team will
"visit Philadelphia for a tussle with the
Athletics, before opening the home sea-|
son with the Senators ut the Polo]
Grounds. They will run over to Boston
for a series with the Red Kox after that. !
only to return here for four games with 1
the Athletics and Red Sox These
games with th.-> three strongest teams
iu UM American League will put the
New Y orks to a severe test, but as It
is expected that Chance's men will
come back from Rermuda in perfect
condition, it is possible that they may
have an edge on their Eastern rivals
in this tespect.
This year's schedule for the Johnson i
circuit will send the New Yorks West I
about the first of May. They will play '
in Boston on Decoration Day. It is |
said, and in Philadelphia on Labor Day
winding up the campaign with a West
em trip The New Yorks, therefore,
have many choice plums in the schedule,
which will be announced here next
month, and if the team plays good
ball It is predicted that visiting Amer?
ican League teams will play to big
crowds at the home of the Oiants.
WILSON SEEKS REST.
Goes to New York to Escape Strain of
offlM.il Duties.
New York. January 24.?To obtain
rest and diversion from the strain of
his official duties. President-Elect Wil?
son came to New York for the week-end
to-day. He went shopping with Mrs.
Wilson most of the afternoon, visiting
half a dozen stores without being gen?
erally recognized. To-night the Oov
ernor was the guest of a friend at the
theatre He had no political argu?
ments, be said.
It is very probable that the Presi
dent-elect will visit the metropolis ev?
ery week-end before his inaugura- j
tion. as his friends have cautioned him 1
against overwork. Earlier in the day
the Oovernor had gone to Philadelphia j
to visit a dentist. He left there for!
New York at noon, and will not be
back in his office at the State House
before Monday. Although he gave
bis plans for the week-end in detail
to the correspondents so as to be ac?
cessible to them, he asked that informs,
tion as to his whereabouts be withheld
from the publio so that he could be
free from political burdens for awhile.
Although Governor and Mrs. tVllaoB
escaped general recognition during
their shopping tour, an incident at the
very start indicated that their hopes j
in this respect might not be realized, j
The Governor had agreed to meet Mrs. ;
Wilson on an upper floor of one of the
big stores, and as he stepped out of the .
elevator and walked to the spot where
?he was waiting, some one recognized j
the President-elect. There was an im?
mediate flutter among the store em- ,
ployes. who flocked from all sides and ?
surrounded the couple. An impromptu j
reception followed, during which scores
of eager young women were greeted by
the Governor and his wife.
The playhouse which Governor Wil
Mal attended is a very small one, and '
he was speedily re--ognized as-he took
his seat m the aucien.ee. In his honor, to
the orchestra pla> 8d the "Star Spangled
Banner' -the first time this national
air has greeted him in his visits to '
tboitre? since his election to the presi.
dency.

ONLY BIG PITCHERS
WANTED BY MANAGERS
Day for the Small Chap as Twirler Has Gone Past.
New York Has Some
Real Giants. ?
Philadelphia, January 34.?There wae
a time when u email man had a chance
' to make good in baseball as a pitcher,
but only big fellows are wanted for
such positions nowadays. Old-time
fans will remember when "Kid" Carsey
and "Wee Willie" MeOill held their
own with other mu.ior league stars.
They were small even for the pitchers
of those days, but they would be
midgets yomparod with the present day
crop of curve breeders. 80 keen are the
managers for six-foot pitchers that they
will spend weeks and months trying
to drill a giant into tho rudiments of
twirling, whereas they will scarcely
give a second look to a youth who le
under tho five-foot eight mark.
If the average height of the twirlrrs
on any major league team was secured
it would probably be found that it
was close to tho six-foot.- The New
York Americans are boasting of two
pitohers who stand over six feet tall,
and other clubs are thankful that they
have a bum h of big fellows to do the
twirling.
They will have to step some, though,
to equal a trio of. pitchers on the staff'
of tho Phillies. hppa Hixey, Jr.. tops
all the twirlers in the National League, j
He stands six feet five inches high. I
I while Oady, a youngster from the
I coast, and Kerl Moore each stand six
feet two Inches high.
The New York Olante can boaat of
I such human skyscrapers as Marquard.
; Tcsreau and Mathewson, and McOraw
Is going In for more big men. Two of
his young pitchers this spring will be
Tom Ifanley, who is six feet two inches
high, und K. K. Ferryman, who boasts
of being six feet four and one-half
inches tall.
Bo keen Is MoOraw to sign giant
twirlere that he actually got Perry
' man's name to a contract last year
i before the youth had won a game.
Last year Perryman pitched for Rich
1 uiond, Va. He won only five games
in twenty laet season. Despite this
M' Oraw.says he will take the young?
s'" r to the training camp and give him
' all the coaching possible in the hope
, that he will turn out to be another
1 Tesreau.
I Would any such encouragement be
given to a you;h of five feet and a half7
Not by a jugful. If a chap who is]
short of stature but long on brains
wants to get a good trial in baseball
he wants to cut out the pitching and
catching and try for an infield or out?
field berth.
KING ALFONSO MAY
PAY COUNTRY A VISIT
o-?-?-I
He Is Anxious to Come, and
Government Shows Signs
of Yielding.
London, January 34?King Alfonso
of Spain is likely to pay a visit to the
Tnited States some time this summer.
The Spanish government is now con?
sidering a proposal which emanated
from the King himself, who has long
desired to visit America. He has several
times made similar proposals, which
have been rejected by the government
under the mistaken notion that the
animosities created by the war be?
tween Spain and the United States
are still warm, but since !a?t year
King Alfonso has been combating this
idea and has been reinforced in his
opinions by the personal experiences
of Captain Vincens. the Spanish attache
at London, another Spanish " officer
who visited the I'nited States last
summer. When Alfonso was in Kng
.and in August he sent for Captain
Vincen* and questioned him about
his trip to the I'nited States. The
king was so interested in the attache's
story tyat he insisted that the captain
should travel with him from London
to Dover while he was on his wav to
Spain.
The Spanish Kin* insisted upon
; getting from the alt< he every minute
| detail in regard to the l!nite<l Stater
lie was particularly anxious to find
out whether any ill feeling remained in
America over the Spanish-American
I War. iCaptain Vlcens assured him that
i there was not the slightest animosity
On the contrary he found everywhere
feelings of the utmost cordiality.
After hearing Yicens'a story King Al?
fonso sighed and said l
"How fortunate you are to be a
simple officer and not a King. You
havo visited a country that I am most
anxious to see. it haa been my wish
for years, but the government will not
permit me to do it, thinking that per?
haps there is still some ill feeling over
the war. But your account agrees
with my opinion, and what you have
told me of the wonders of the country
simply adds most to my desire to visit
It."
It is understood that since that time
King Alfonso has been pegging away
a.t his ministers to help him make the
trip. During the last t hree or four days

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON ANTITRUST BILL
Judiciary Committee Votes
Unanimously for Drastic
Measure.
(Special to The Times-Dispatch.)
Raleigh, S*. C, January 24.?Judi?
ciary Committee No. 1. voted unani?
mously to report favorably the Justice
bill to declare illegal combinations in
restraint of trade, the drastic anti?
trust bill introduced early in the
session The bill applies the Sherman
antitrust art as State law. adds the
provisions of the noted Reid bill of
the 1907 session, provides punishment
for agreements as well as conspiracy
in restraint of trade, and provides
machinery for the Attorney-Oeneral
to investigate and prosecute much as
the Federal act empowers fbe Attorney
General of the United States in this
respect There seems to be no opposi?
tion to the Justice bill. Indeed, many
who would ordinarily be considered to
oppose such legislation declare that
they are indifferent because this issue
has distinctly passed into national
Instead of State dimensions and the
State law can only be a sort of figure?
head. It looks like easy sailing for the
bill through House and Senate.
After two days of spirited debate
the Senate voted to-day to limit
buit'ding and loan associations to
borrowing to the extent of fifty in
?tead of twenty-five per cent of paid
in assets as at present. An amend?
ment at the last minute by Senator
Jones to allow borrowing to the amount
of seventy-five per cent of assets was
defeated. The original bill was to
illow unlimited borrowing.
Duplicate bills were introduced In
the Senate and House for six months'
